About Andrew Bird

Update: 12/06/2011 Andrew Bird announced a new album "Break It Yourself," tour dates and a pre-sale.

Andrew Bird got a big boost to his career with the release of the live album Fingerlings 2. He has since delivered many successful albums like Music of Hair, Armchair Apocrypha, Andrew Bird and the Mysterious Production of Eggs and Noble Beast. Andrew Bird is a Suzuki-trained violinist, songwriter, guitarist and mandolinist - but all take a backseat to his true true calling: professional whistler.

With hit singles like Tables & Chairs, Banking on a Myth and A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left, Andrew Bird is an amazing performer to see live.
